President Donald Trump signed an executive order seeking to penalize people who burn flags, although courts have long upheld the practice as legitimate expression under the First Amendment.
The order aims to prosecute people who burn flags associated with other violence, such as inciting a riot, the president said.
"If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail," Trump said. "You will see flag burning stop immediately."
That’s in the USAmerican experience. I recall in Yugoslavia that the Left pulled the same hypocritical stunt and the conservatives in USA felt like it was already happening to them (since it was exaggerated into panic by social media’s polarizing algorithms).
